SMITHS COERCIvE BILL.

Gladstonians and the Parnell-
ties. Mr.. Smith promises an
early statement of the land proposal,
but the opposition are determined not

ant.

ties virtually began yesterday. Many
societies and clubs throughout Ger
many are holding reunions in honor of
the occasion. The influx of strangers
into Berlin continued today. The day
the streets were thronged with people
watching the completion of the dec
orations. There was constant stream
of equipages along Linden Avenue,
of royalties exchanging visits on going
| to the palace. The Prince of Wales,
Duke Rudolph and Grand Duke
Vladimir were specially oyated.

and Queen of ROumania; the Crown
Prince of Denmark; The King and
Queen of SaxOny and Prince Louis of

A PEACE JUBILEE.
The National Gazette, referring TO
the anniversary, says the signs of
peace that are coming from all sides
| testify that the occasion is treated in
the most splendid and unequivocal
manner as an European peace festival.
The imposing assembly of Princes
which had gathered around the En-
peror represents the common desire of
Europe to maintain the existing state
of things. The alliance between Aus
| tria. Italy and Germany, finally con-
cluded only within the last few days,
constitutes one of the firmest supports
of the tranquility and security of Eu-
rope. 1t appears also that the relations
between the three emperors are being
adjusted and strengthened.
| RUSSIA SATISFIED WITH GERMAN
AGENTS.
| ST.. PETERSBURG, March 81 The
| Official Gazette censureS the Russian
press for reviving the assertion that the
| relations between Russia and Germany
are unfriendly, despite the Govern
ment's denial. The paper adds that
the revival of this statement is espe-
cially censurable just now, because it is
made so soon after the execution of the
| ssbIoody judgments at Rustchuk,' - fol-
which many partisan journals have held
Germany and her agents in Bulgaria
responsible. The Gazette in conclusion
says such statements are an idle cal
umny. Russia is perfectly satisfied il
confding her interests to German
agents in Bulgaria. Newspaper state
ments discrediting the measure are
grOundless.
